Name some issues with dry shot. I will be purchasing a 2000 SS with with bolts and a cut out, but I am worring about the 75 dry shot. I am not a big fan of nitrous. I was wondering if there is any big or any small issues using a dry shot.
If someone can better explain the benifits of the dry system.
I know that it is sparyed before the maf and that is about it. It has a digital window switch set @ 3000 to 6500 with a WOT switch.

Dry is the safest, but dont hit as hard. But that can be a good thing it you have traction problems, Just set your timing and maintain fuel pressure, and dont max out your injectors, and run a colder spark plug.Do not run any type of platinum plugs with nitrous.And keep you massair clean.

Well all I know so far about the set up is the bottle has a heater with a stat, window switch 3k to 6500 with 100 shot. in the air lid. But I guess you do not have to worry about puddling.
I think it is hard to argue that either is safer than the other. Either done correctly can be just as safe as the other. However either done wrong will lead to engine failure.
The key is doing it correctly. Everyone has there preference to what they prefer. For example. I have designed, installed, tuned many of both wet and dry systems. There for I have a very wide knowledge of both. I personally prefer a wet set up over a dry set up on most applications. However It does not mean that I can not set up a nice safe reliable dry set up as well.
If I can be of any assistance to you to double check your set up and make sure it is safely done feel free to hit me up.

I was referring to back fires, Dry systems are not prone to cause damage like a wet systems that use a plate or single nozzle, A fogger system is to me the safest wet if every thing is setup right, The single nozzle are prone to back fire do to puddling in the intake.Not every body has this problem , but do a search on nitrous back fires and see how most of them are setup.
I run a duel stage system, 100 shot dry Halo Ring in speed density with COS5, and a 250shot with the N.O.S. Pro Fogger, and never had one problem with ether

I will aggree that a wet back fire is usually more violant than a dry but you can have a back fire with both styles of systems. There are alot more wet backfires noted than dry because there are a great deal more wet systems being used than dry. There have been alot of dry backfires being shown lately though as more and more people have started trying dry due to internet misconception that it is safer.
Im not disagreeing with you really. just wante it noted that either done the wrong way can yield poor damaging results.

I've had both dry and wet. I started out with a dry setup (before the MAF) and it worked for good while. What I didnt like about it was that nozzle placement is so critical. My Nozzel moved ever so slightly and the cause the nitrous charge to miss most of the MAF wires. This instantly caused the car to go Dead LEAN and the car started to backfire badly on spray. Thankfully is didnt cause any damage. I've since moved on to a wet nozzel set up and have had great results. The wet setup seem to hit alot harder too!
Dry nozzle placement and angle that it sprays is very critical. I can twist my nozzle and it causes me to run lean or rich depending on the direction twisted. Wet is safer and easier to tune imo. I have both now. A dry for the 1st stage and wet for the 2nd stage. I've never had a backfire but have melted plugs and a valve.

Well thanks Dave to give me a better understanding of that systems. There is two nozzle that are on both side of the SLP lid I want to say that it is on th engine side of the air filter. Meaning it is not spraying thur the filter. As for the MAF I have no idea if it is hitting the wire of the maf, I am sure it is. The car was tuned at 12.5 across the board. putting down 450 to the rear tires. It has purge, and a WOT switch too

Being its a 2000 consider new injectors for your dry shot...a 75 shoot on my 99 stock went lean (99 and 00 have smaller injectors than the other year LS1/LS6's).
A nice set of 42's should do ya fine.
